Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge,” and this little book, Pragmatic Imagination, explains how to put that to work through the lens of science, architecture, jazz, writing, and most importantly, skateboarding. OK, it doesn’t mention skating, but it articulates the relationship between creativity & imagination as we adapt tricks to the world around us in a way that never dawned upon me. Beyond that, it adds a mind-blowing scope and detail to the same creative outlooks that have reshaped the world across every field—often, with a kind of diagrammatic prose. And for good reason: the authors, Ann Pendleton Jullian and John Seely Brown, are some of the greatest minds of our era. By some kind of miracle, I was paired with JSB last May at MIT to share perspectives; we’ll visit Stanford in a few weeks to do the same.
